bmorecareful Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I understand ur a Colts fan but Bob Sanders was over Deion Sanders Ed Reed Reggie White Ray Lewis and Troy Polamalu... Bro that is the most homer pick I’ve ever seen lol.... and where is Patrick Willis... bob Sanders was a very good player but I’m sorry he isn’t a better safety than Ed Reed or Troy polamalu... he not even better than Brian Dawkins to be real... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBLIII Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 so you are saying Bob Sanders is like a top 15-20 player in NFL history? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone said, I'm putting guys like Brian Dawkins, Troy Polamalu, John Lynch ahead of him with very little hesitation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I’ll fight anyone to the death that doesn’t have peak Derek Thomas in the same conversation as other GOAT Defensive players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His only 2 healthy seasons 2005: 1st team All Pro #2 ranked scoring D 14-2 2007: DPOY 1st team All pro #1 ranked scoring D 13-3 Overall from 2004-2008 in the 52 games he started the Colts had a 41-11 record and gave up an average 17.5 per game. 2004-2008 without him they gave up an average of 21.3 and had a 27-10 record Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mox Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I'm not sure I'd take a single one of the 98's over Reggie White. Certainly not Sanders or Revis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as EDGE I think he's equal with Dent, Harrison and Taylor and above the Miller, Ware Strahan, Greene, Freeny etc tier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last 3 years average of 17.6 points given up, 2x SB, 1x champion, last 2 years DPOY, 2x All Pro. Yet you didn't list him and put Bob Sanders on a level with Reggie White etc. I don't see any argument for that.

Jotun_Fan Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Why does it go 100 to 98? Why not 99? I'm a Giants Homer so i'll agree with 100 for LT, as for the others there's certainly people left off this list who should be on, and bob sanders is a bit of a head scratcher. From his peers I'd put Reed, Dawkins, Polamalu ahead of him at the safety spot. 100 Lawrence Taylor99 Bruce Smith, Reggie White, Ed Reed, Ray Lewis, Aaron Donald, Deion Sanders, JJ Watt, Ronnie Lott98 Derrick Thomas, Derrick Brooks, John Randle, Cortez Kennedy, Darelle Revis, Patrick Willis, Julius Peppers, Brian Dawkins97 Brian Urlacher, Warren Sapp, Charles Woodson, Champ Bailey, Rod Woodson, Mike Singletary, Darrell Green, Troy Polamalu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also in spite of the ppg the D was horrible his first year on the Patriots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a good player when he was healthy but that's really it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your list looks good. Willis and Urlacher above above Kuechly, Lambert or Seau is questionable though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
